Fair enough.  I think it would be reasonable to ask that:

- the draft include the word "privacy"
- the draft discuss the issues around relying on an identifier
that persists across changes in device ownership

There may be an issue concerning a SIP-related identifier
which is unavailable on millions of mobile devices which do
not have IMEIs, but it's quite possible that it's
non-applicable in the context of the draft.  -T

Personally, I'd consider getting all three of those issues
addressed in the document (including a discussion of the
applicability of the latter and a serious discussion of the
privacy issues) as adding value... and as requirements for RFC
publication in the IETF Stream.
